Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Hermanville, MS.

One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for people in Hermanville who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. In low doses however, the client does not feel high and also does not experience severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this purpose, but there are other options to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be given in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300 /month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. Someone taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
